Brooks v Jones- Sheffield Motorpoint Arena UK-Saturday Fight Night Thread

Kell is running the show at the moment, Jones may last the distance, but I can't see Brook losing it. Jones having a few moments of success, but Brook is doing far too much for Carson.

who will win, any guesses?

jones ko

Jim nearly told a joke then

If jones sticks around to the later stages this is could get real ugly for brook he's got the I don't like being hit reaction to punches

Good fight this.

Brook certainly not the new naz

He looks fucked tbh. And Jones reminds me of Glen Johnson.

Jones might be pullin a rabbit out the hat ...

Brook really needs to get it together again. He took the first six at a cruise, so one or two more rounds should be enough. However, Jones landing big punches, and Brook has to show that he's really got the stones to deal with it and come back stronger.

Helluva round there :cool:

This is like a poor mans Margarito-Cotto I.

Talk about exposed

Kell's going to get the win unless he's knocked out, but Jones has just given everyone the blueprint on how to get through to Brook.

In fairness Jones isn't exactly Mr Clean in the ring, so I'm not surprised he needed another telling off, but it came at a bad time for him.

klit fight just started...

Exposed?

Or maybe just taught a lesson he needed?

Probably a bit exposed.

I had it for Brook by 2.

Ooooh, majority decision! Personally I had him 115-113, but a very good test for him.

I'm going to switch to channel 5 for Fury now. See if he has learnt any technique yet,

I'm sticking on this one and watching Hope v Proksa, and I've got Fury recording for later. If you could keep any spoilers somewhere else that'd be much appreciated! ;)

Of course :cool:

Only thing I will spoil is to tell you that Fury's shorts are too small.

Proksa is looking likely to blow Hope out of there in the first four or five rounds. Didn't really see the first fight, but Proksa seems to be the higher quality fighter so far.

Hope has a lot of bottle but Proksa is finding it a bit too easy at the moment. Barker would make his weird limbo dancing style look a bit silly and catch him easily with such a precariously badly planted pair of feet. Brucee would love him but this isn't strictly come dancing.

Well, looks like its the theme of the evening where fighters come better as the fight goes on. I've got hope picking up his first of the night there. Still 4-1 down, but at least he's on the board.

Brook is still a level below Khan and despite calling him out, should be avoiding that fight for a while.

I'm not sure if Kel has the physical side to beat the best, not as strong and clearly doesn't like and tires under pressure.

I'd pick Ortiz to beat him, along with the top half of the division right now.

He needed to win the last 7 rounds to win imo and Brook deffo won at least 2.

How did you all score the Brook-Jones fight??

Yes I had 115-113, it was a tough test for Brook.

Boxing is a strange sport. On face value Brook was humiliated and hounded for half a fight but supposedly got the win. I wasn't scoring though as was keeping an eye on too many things at once (big brother included :D).

I wasn't scoring it rd-by-rd, I got the impression Jones won (watching again now)

@fightscorecollector - 114-114

Brook was very good for the first half of the fight, almost sublime. I seriously think that even against better opposition he may look equally as dominant. The problem seems to be two fold, he hasn't been able to stop people as he has stepped up in level and his stamina is questionable. He can improve his conditioning so as not to fade as much but even if he sits down more on his shots instead of always throwing combinations he may not have the power to stop people at this level. He needs to get stronger too as Jones threw him around a bit too easily, but I can still see him winning the IBF title against Bailey or Alexander. Jones is one dimensional but tough. Good fight

For those of you that watched it live, as I only caught the last round (above), how did Proksa look in the rematch against Hope? Was it a blowout? I am sure Erics is tad bit disappointed. Don't worry Barker may be able to bring redemption if he faces Proksa.

With regard to the Brook v. Jones fight, I haven't had a chance to watch it, but from what I understand it was mostly a story of two halves. The first half went to Brook; the second have went to Jones. Jones was the stronger fighter; Brook the polished.

Proska looked better but not ready to face Barker, Macklin,Murray or Andy Lee better. He may get there but right now he has a bunch of bad habits and a cocky low hands attitude that will see him getting slapped silly if he steps up. He may up his game though, we will see.

I don't get it seems so many fighters now want to fight with that hands down style cause it looks flashy or whatever, not realizing that they probably shouldn't fight that way cause they're not talented enough.
